The "9" is the highest cocoa content chocolate that Amedei make. It is a blend of cocoa from 9 plantations owned by Amedei. This is a complex interesting chocolate that is highly regarded.

The first notes on the palate are of toasted almonds and almost bitter espresso. But as it melts on the tongue this transfers to lightly acidic berry & citrus hints. Chewing brings out the notes of toasted nuts, toffee and even raspberry and a lightly woody grassy feel. It has a very creamy finish for a chocolate of 75% . Once finished, the fruit acidity subsides and it leaves a lovely nutty after taste. The "9" is not as bitter or assertive as you would expect. Instead at every stage of eating there are layers of flavours that unfold.
